Notes:

Data are from the most recent national surveys available in each country (see General population survey tables, Statistical bulletin 2012).

Some countries use a slightly different age range to the EMCDDA standard age range for youth. Variations in age ranges may slightly influence disparities between countries.

The most recent general population survey reported by the Netherlands display a wide variation in results compared with 2005 which may reflect methodological differences. The data is provided for information, but given the lack of comparability between surveys should be treated with caution.
